History
After a shaky start financially SV Sandhausen advanced steadily through the lower leagues until it earned promotion to the
Bezirksliga Rhein-Saar in 1931, but only played for a single season at that level before descending again. In 1943 it was merged with
TSV Walldorf and
VfB Wiesloch to form the wartime squad
KSG Walldorf-Wiesloch. At war's end the combined squad was dissolved and
SG Sandhausen was reestablished as an independent club late in 1945. A half dozen years later it re-claimed its original name.
Sandhausen played football in the
Landesliga or
2.Amateurliga until 1956 when it advanced to the 1.Amateurliga Nordbaden. In 1977, SV Sandhausen became German amateur vice-champion and advanced to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg in 1978 where it consistently earned finishes in the upper half of the standings.
Sandhausen claimed three
Oberliga titles through the 1980s and the German Amateur Championship in 1993. It repeated as
Oberliga champions in 1995 and 2000 and, with its latest title in 2007, advanced to the
Regionalliga Süd (III). The 2007-08 season was a success for the club, being in contention for 2nd Bundesliga (football) promotion almost until the end of season and comfortably qualifying for the new 3rd Liga.
Negotiations held in late 2005 and on into early 2006 to merge
Sandhausen with
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, and
FC Astoria Walldorf to create
FC Heidelberg 06 were abandoned due to resistance to the idea on the part of
Sandhausen and
Walldorf, and the failure to agree on whether the new side's stadium should be located in Heidelberg.
